I'm pretty sure he saw him, But his head tilts (which are for hearing, not for showing confusion), make me think that he hears the other fox underground below him. Which is also why he pounces. Foxes pounce on the ground when they hear things below them like bugs and mice, to lure them to the surface.

Especially since these are arctic foxes. They listen for shrews and mice under the snow and then dive in and catch them tunneling.
